"For our application, the Tango presented unique opportunities to shorten the product design life cycle"
John Mullen, Hasbro Inc.'s Product Development Engineering.
TangoBlack and TangoGray
TangoBlack and TangoGray rubber like flexible materials enable models that closely resemble the ˇ°feelˇ± of flexible target products, opening new business opportunities for Eden systems. They are particularly ideal for many consumer electronics applications, shoes, toys, general industrial applications, and rapid tooling.
TangoBlack and TangoGray offer very high elongation at break. Both products enable a realistic rubber/silicon feel, and easily stretch to fit onto other parts. TangoBlack provides maximum elasticity with hardness of 61 Shore. TangoGray is a slightly harder, but still flexible, material with hardness of 75 Shore, providing more controlled flexibility and elasticity.
Objet Studio software enables easy switching between the different materials.
The Tango line utilizes the same support material (FullCure Support) as all FullCure Model materials, enabling the same easy removal process.
Key Advantages
Rubber-like flexible material enables 3-dimensional parts to be used in the early design stages, shortening the product design cycle.
Very high elongation at break provides a realistic feel of rubber and silicon and enables model parts that stretch easily to fit with other parts
Choice of flexibility levels - TangoBlack (61 Shore) is softer; TangoGray (75 Shore) is harder
Easy switch between materials enables production of sub-assemblies with multiple material properties
